Description
- This invention relates to a water sprinkling toy pistol with a bubble-making means.
- Known are, for children to play with, toy pistols designed to eject a sprinkle or jet of water. Such pistols are generally molded from a plastic material in two symmetrical halves which are then united along the pistol centerplane, so that problems are often encountered as to the proper sealing of the water charge stored in the pistol. Accordingly, improved design toy pistols have been developed which include a separate magazine-like reservoir generally accommodated inside the pistol hand grip and of single-piece construction, thereby leakage problems are eliminated. A small pickup tube is inserted into the magazine and connected to a small pump operated through the pistol trigger to eject a sprinkle of water.
- However, such water sprinkling toy pistols, while being functionally satisfactory, fail to fully meet the playing requirements of children whose interest is mostly attracted by whatever appears to be promisingly new.
- In order to widen the range of application of water sprinkling toy pistols it has also been suggested to combine such pistols with bubble emitting means.
- Such a combined pistol is disclosed in the US
Patent 3 636 652 which deals with a water pistol having a ring mounted in front of the barrel. In operation the child dips the ring into a bubble-forming solution to form a film across the ring. He then blows on the film to form a bubble and blow it free of the ring, aims the gun at the bubble along the line of sight, and fires. The stream of water passes through the ring and strikes the bubbles if the aim is correct. - The pistol according to the US patent has the substantial disadvantage that the bubble-forming integral with the pistol, thus causing trouble to the child who must take it with himself if he wishes to have the bubble-forming solution at disposal at any time.
- From the US
patent 3 834 066 a toy pistol is already known defining a reservoir for the bubble-forming solution and means for ejecting bubbles. - However such known pistol is not able to sprinkle water, so that its appeal to the children is rather reduced.
- The present invention sets out to provide a toy pistol which may be loaded with water and bubble-forming solution thus permitting emission of bubbles and issuing of a git of water which may be directed to said bubbles acting as targets.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a water sprinkling toy pistol with a bubble-making means of the type which comprises a water magazine adapted for insertion into the pistol grip and in operative communication with means for ejecting a sprinkle of water from the pistol barrel, characterized in that it further comprises, located above said magazine, a reservoir intended for containing a liquid effective to produce bubbles of the type of soap bubbles, a bubble blowing ring immersed in said reservoir and adapted to be raised with the intermediary of supporting means guided within the pistol grip to deliver bubbles in the direction of the pistol barrel.
- Further details will become more apparent from the following description of some preferred embodiments of the toy pistol according to this invention, with reference to the accompanying exemplary drawings, where:
- Figure 1 is a sectional view, taken along a longitudinal centerplane of the pistol, showing the right-hand half of the pistol;
- Figure 2 is a plan view thereof, with some parts removed;
- Figure 3 is a fragmentary horizontal section through the grip of the pistol;
- Figure 4 is a vertical section through the pistol, taken along the line IV-IV of Figure 2; and
- Figure 5 is a fragmentary longitudinal mid- sectional view of a second embodiment of the toy pistol, showing the left-hand half of the pistol.
- With reference initially to Figures 1 to 4, this water sprinkling toy pistol is made in two almost symmetrical halves or shells 1 a, 1 b molded from a plastics material; the two halves are joined together along the longitudinal centerplane of the pistol. The joint is implemented in a conventional manner, by insertion of pegs formed in one half into mating recesses formed in the other half. Also conventionally, the pistol has a barrel 2 and a
hand grip 3 which may have any desired shape. - The butt of the
grip 3 is left completely open for the pressure insertion therein, from the bottom, of amagazine 4 containing the water to be sprinkled. The magazine, which is also made of a plastics material, has a single-piece construction and a shape which practically matches that of thegrip 3, it being flattened sideways and tapered toward the top at the rear face thereof. It is intended for insertion until it abuts against aprojection 5 inside thegrip 3. Once it has been so introduced, the magazine is still accessible for gripping and withdrawing it through cutouts 3a in the bottom edge of the grip. - The
magazine 4 has at the top a loading hole wherethrough, in the assembled condition, a small vertical tube 6 is passed to reach the bottom of the magazine. The small tube 6 is connected to a small pump 7, which is interposed between check valves 8, 9 and operated through an axially slidingtrigger 10. The tube 6 is extended beyond the pump 7 in atube 11 which is coaxial with the barrel 2 of the pistol and terminates at the end of the barrel in anozzle 12 for the ejection of the water sprinkle. - Above the
grip 3, the half shell 1 a of the pistol defines areservoir 13 for a liquid effective to form bubbles of the type of soap bubbles. Thereservoir 13 is open at the top and has arear portion 13a of greater depth; this rear portion accommodates a bubble blowingring 14 of the type effective to withhold said liquid by capillary action, such as to issue trains of bubbles. - The
reservoir 13 is closed at the top, excepting for therear portion 13a, by a cover orlid 15 which is pressure applied; that portion is in turn closed by acap 16 which partly overlaps thecover 15 and to which the blowingring 14 is attached through asmall rod 17. - The
cap 16 also defines a centrally locatedsight 18 for the pistol. Thecap 16 can be raised by means of ashank 19 together with the blowingring 14. - The
shank 19, which is arranged vertically on the side of thepistol grip 3 corresponding to the left-hand part 1 b, is secured to the cap or plug 16 at its top end, its bottom end being provided with abutton 20 for raising it. Theshank 19 is guided at its upper portion between arecess 21 in the wall of thereservoir 13 and the half-shell 1 b; at the bottom, it slides in acutout 22 on the wall of thegrip 3, in which cutout it is slidably guided by means of tworelated side grooves 20a in thebutton 20. - Thus, the
button 20 is partly within and partly without thegrip 3. Correspondingly with the path followed by thebutton 20, inside the grip, themagazine 4 is formed with agroove 23. - With reference to Figure 5, where the same reference numerals are used to designate similar elements, it can be noted that, inside the
grip 3, atension spring 24 is provided which has one end connected to the grip and the other end to theshank 19. Under the action of thespring 24, theshank 19 and thecap 16 attached thereto are pulled downwards, thereby the tail portion 16a of the cap enters the mouth 13b of thereservoir 13 and forms a sealed connection against it. The tail portion 16a, which underlies thecap 16 and is aligned with therod 17, has a slightly conical outer surface, converging downwards to create an effective seal. In the embodiment of Figure 5, thereservoir 13 is a separate one-piece construction and, like themagazine 4, molded from a plastics material. The reservoir is locked inside the pistol, at an opening 25 at the top of the pistol; this opening is partly closed by the cover 26 and partly by thecap 16, when the latter is at the down position. - The operation of this toy pistol will be apparent from the foregoing description. After the
magazine 4 has been filled with water and inserted into thegrip 3, the water can be sprinkled by pulling the trigger which operates the pump. When thebutton 20 is pushed up to abut against the bottom edge of the wall of the half-shell 16, which covers therecess 21, thebubble blowing ring 14 is raised above thecover 15 or 26. Thering 14 withholds the liquid, as loaded into thereservoir 13, such that, by blowing on it, a train of bubbles is emitted, of the type of soap bubbles, in the direction of the barrel 2 of the pistol. In the embodiment of Figure 5, on releasing thebutton 20, the blowingring 14 automatically returns to its submerged position in thereservoir 13, theshank 19 andcap 16 being moved back to their down position by thespring 24. - It will be appreciated that the described toy pistol fully meets its functional requisites, in particular on account of the
magazine 4 andreservoir 13 being a single piece construction, thereby no leakage problems can occur.
